V-Ray Versions List Report

V-Ray 1.46 (2005)

• Key Features: Introduction of the VRayProxy object, allowing massive geometry (millions of polygons) to be loaded at render time without stressing the viewport.

7. Conclusion

The complete list of VRay versions from 2001 to 2025 shows a steady trajectory from a CPU-only GI renderer to a hybrid, AI-accelerated, cross-platform production engine. As of 2025, VRay 7 represents the state of the art with neural caching and full USD pipeline integration. For legacy pipeline maintenance, versions 2.40 through 3.70 are still used in VFX facilities, while VRay 5+ dominates architecture and product design. This chronological version list serves as a definitive reference for render engineers, historians, and artists requiring backward compatibility data.

The Complete V-Ray All Versions List: From 1.0 to Present

V-Ray for SketchUp & Rhino

• V-Ray 2.0 (2014) – First stable "Pro" version for SU/Rhino.
• V-Ray 3.4 (2017) – Live light mixing.
• V-Ray 4.0 (Next) (2019) – Denoiser + GPU production rendering.
• V-Ray 5.0 (2020 for Rhino, 2021 for SU) – Vision real-time.
• V-Ray 6.0 (2022) – Enmesh (Rhino only initially).
• V-Ray 7.0 (2024) – Unified with Max/Maya features.

V-Ray 2.0 (2009–2011)

• Codename: "V-Ray 2.0" (primarily for 3ds Max/Maya).
• Key Features:
  • VRay RT (Real-Time) – Initially GPU-accelerated preview.
  • Support for V-Ray Proxy sequences (animated proxies).
  • VRayCarPaint material (flakes and pearlescent effects).
  • VRayDistanceTex (procedural texture based on distance).
• Note: V-Ray 2.40.04 became one of the most pirated (and stable) versions of the early 2010s.

Part 7: EOL (End of Life) – Legacy Versions

If you are maintaining a legacy pipeline, note that Chaos does not support 32-bit builds (discontinued after V-Ray 3.0). Furthermore, V-Ray 2.0 and older do not work on Windows 11 or macOS Ventura (due to deprecated OpenGL drivers). vray all versions list

• Still safe to use: V-Ray 3.6+ on Windows 10.
• Security risks: V-Ray 1.5 (No SSL support for cloud licenses).
• No GPU support: V-Ray 2.0 (Only ancient CUDA 2.0).
